Received: 19 January 2015 / Accepted: 22 January 2015 / Published: 2 February 2015
The authors would like to correct the scientific names on some of the tree species listed in this paper [1],
doi:10.3390/f5123327, website: http://www.mdpi.com/1999-4907/5/12/3327. After publication we
discovered that some of the vernacular names used by some communities were in fact a different
species than initially anticipated. Therefore, although the vernacular is correct, the scientific name
should be corrected. This confusion was due to the variety of vernacular names used for each species,
which depend mostly on the ethnic group. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience
caused to the readers by these changes.
1. Change in Main Body Paragraphs
We have found inadvertent errors in our paper published in Forests 2014, 5, 3327–3343:
On page 3334, lines 10–11 and 19. Line 10: The sentence “Rhizophora racenosa” should be
“Rhizophora spp.” Line 11: “Avicennia africana” should be “Avicennia germinans”. Line 19: The
sentence “Pterocarpus violaceus” should be Pterocarpus erinaceos”. On page 3336 lines 15–16.

Line 15: The sentence (Pterocarpus violaceu) should be (Pterocarpus erinaceus). Line 16: The
sentence “pau de incenso 4.9%” should be “pau-de-incenso (Daniellia oliveri) 4.9%”.
2. Change in “Figure 3”
The author wishes to make the following corrections to this paper [1]. Due to errors encountered in
the Latin names of the tree species which vernacular names were collected during field work. NOTE:
The Latin designation corresponding to the vernacular name “Bulô” was not identified that is why we
changed the Figure by adding its value to the category “Other”):
